[Coco] Asm from PC to tape?

[Russ Bernhardt]

I’m trying to figure out the right combo to get a binary compiled by CCASM to a WAV from cocotape.exe and I’m not having much luck…

I have a simple “hello world” CoCo 6809 ASM from http://leto.net/code/asm/hw_assembler.php just to test the setup.

I compile with: cm582 hello.asm -cloadm
Then make a WAV with: cocotape hello.bin -bin -o=hello.wav

A WAV is created but when I play it to my CoCo with CLOADM I get “COCO3COM” and a lot of gibberish, but no explicit error. “exec” does nothing…

I’ve also tried “cm582 hello.asm -cloadm” but I get “Encountered 1431655765 errors”, though it does still produce a bin file. Using this results in the same as above.

Any tips? I should add my goal is to learn ASM on the CoCo without an EDTASM+ cart (far too pricey on eBay) and without using drives/cart (also far too expensive) since I only have the tape loader.

Thanks!
